Your RCMP Criminal Record Check Must Be Submitted Through an RCMP-Accredited Entity

Many applicants in Spain are unaware that fingerprint submissions for RCMP Criminal Record Check cannot be sent directly by individuals or non-accredited providers. For fingerprints taken outside Canada, the original ink fingerprint forms must first be mailed to an RCMP-accredited company in Canada, where they are digitized and electronically submitted to RCMP CCRTIS. If you come across a provider claiming they can electronically submit fingerprints directly from Spain, that is not an RCMP-authorized process.

With Globeia, there is no unnecessary outsourcing or reliance on third-party vendors. Your completed fingerprint forms are sent directly to Globeia Incorporated in Toronto, our own RCMP-accredited office, where they are digitized and electronically submitted to the RCMP. Because the process remains within the Globeia network, you benefit from a single point of contact, experienced support, and a streamlined workflow without avoidable third-party handoffs.

Official C-216C Fingerprint Form: Completed by an authorized fingerprinting provider or Globeia associate if you book fingerprinting with us.

Two Valid Government-Issued IDs: At least one should include your photograph, signature, and date of birth.

RCMP Consent Forms: Provided by Globeia where required for your application.

Do You Need to Apostille Your RCMP Criminal Record Check in Spain?

If you're submitting your RCMP Criminal Record Check to Spanish authorities for a visa, residency, employment, professional registration, or other legal purposes, you'll need an apostille before your Canadian document can be recognized in Spain.

Since Canada joined the Hague Apostille Convention in 2024, RCMP Criminal Record Checks can be apostilled through Global Affairs Canada, the designated competent authority for Canadian federal documents. If your document is instead being used in a country that is not part of the Hague Convention, Globeia can coordinate authentication and legalization through the appropriate government authorities and embassy. If a sworn Spanish translation is also required, we can coordinate both services together- providing one streamlined process from Canada to Spain.

Note: Apostilles can only be issued by the designated competent government authority. Globeia coordinates the submission on your behalf, ensuring your documents follow the correct legal process.

Sworn Spanish Translation for Your RCMP Criminal Record Check

Many Spanish authorities require foreign public documents, including RCMP Criminal Record Checks, to be accompanied by a Sworn Spanish Translation (Traducción Jurada) before they can be accepted for immigration, residency, employment, professional registration, or other legal procedures. Globeia coordinates sworn translations completed by translators officially recognized by the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, European Union and Cooperation (MAEC).

Instead of arranging your RCMP Criminal Record Check, apostille, and sworn translation separately, Globeia brings the entire workflow together through a single application. Once your RCMP criminal record check is issued, we coordinate each subsequent stage in the correct legal order from apostille through to sworn translation, keeping your documents moving efficiently between our teams and the relevant authorities, so you can focus on your application rather than managing multiple providers.

Frequently
Asked Questions

Can I get an RCMP Criminal Record Check while living in Spain?

Yes. You do not need to travel to Canada. Your ink fingerprints can be taken in Spain by an authorized fingerprinting provider or through Globeia's fingerprinting service, then mailed to Globeia Incorporated in Toronto for digitization and electronic submission to RCMP CCRTIS.

How long does an RCMP Criminal Record Check take from Spain?

Processing times are determined entirely by the RCMP and range from 3 to 120 days from the date your fingerprints are received and submitted. Mailing time from Spain to Toronto is additional and should be factored into your overall timeline when planning around visa or immigration deadlines.

Who needs an RCMP Criminal Record Check from Spain?

Anyone who has lived, worked, or studied in Canada for six months or more after the age of 18 may be required to provide an RCMP Criminal Record Check. This is commonly required for Canadian PR applications, Express Entry, work permits, spousal sponsorship, and immigration to third countries that request a Canadian criminal record history.

Does my RCMP Criminal Record Check need an apostille for use in Spain?

In many cases, yes. If your RCMP Criminal Record Check is being submitted to Spanish authorities for immigration, residency, employment, or legal purposes, an apostille may be required. Always confirm the document requirements with the receiving authority.

Which fingerprint form is used for an RCMP Criminal Record Check from Spain?

The official C-216C form is required for RCMP Criminal Record Check submissions. This form must be completed in person in the presence of an authorized associate, it cannot be self-completed or downloaded and filled independently.

Can I submit my own fingerprints for an RCMP Criminal Record Check from Spain?

No. Fingerprints taken outside Canada cannot be submitted directly to the RCMP by individuals. They must be digitized and electronically submitted through an RCMP-accredited company located in Canada.

Does a name-based check work instead of fingerprints for Canadian immigration from Spain?

No. Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) requires a fingerprint-based RCMP Criminal Record Check for immigration applications. A name-based check is not accepted as a substitute. The fingerprint-based check searches Canada's National Repository of Criminal Records using biometric data, making it a definitive verification tied to the individual.

Do I need a certified Spanish translation of my RCMP Criminal Record Check for Spain?

Spanish authorities, including immigration offices and the Cancillería, require a certified Spanish translation alongside the original English RCMP criminal record check. If an apostille is also required, Globeia coordinates both the apostille through Global Affairs Canada and the certified translation together, so your documents arrive complete and ready to submit.

I already have my fingerprints. Can Globeia still help with my RCMP Criminal Record Check?

If you already have ink fingerprints on the official C-216C form or an equivalent RCMP-accepted fingerprint form, you can mail them to Globeia Incorporated in Canada for processing and RCMP submission.

Is digital fingerprint submission to the RCMP possible from Spain?

No. Digital fingerprint submission is only permitted from within Canada through RCMP-accredited companies. If your fingerprints are taken in Spain, the original fingerprint form must first be physically mailed to Canada for digitization and electronic submission.
